In 2009, in partnership with Paoloni Group, he founded the MSGM brand, which has in its DNA a great design tradition, blending with the new millennium’s hallmark desire for revolution. In 2010, Massimo Giorgetti was listed as one of the best discoveries in the competition “Who’s on Next”, sponsored by Vogue Italia.

In these years he developed collaboration between Art and Fashion, with artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Pierpaolo Ferrari, Nico Vascellari, Henry Hussey and the international art magazine Flash Art.
In 2015, he is appointed Creative Director of the brand Emilio Pucci a role that, by mutual agreement with the Pucci maison, he left in April 2017 having decided to return to focus 100% on his brand MSGM that was foreseeing great growth and a strong international development.
In February 2018 the private equity fund STYLE CAPITAL signs an investment agreement to take over a share of MSGM Srl, to support the international business development of the brand.
2019 marked the 10th anniversary of the brand, the events to celebrate this milestone were many, new artistic collaborations were born with Flash Art and Peter Halley, Norbert Bisky and Todd Bienvenu and a limited design edition with Venini.
